About this product

Product Information

Contrasting and comparing the differences and similarities between feature films and short films, Writing Short Films offers readers the essential requirements necessary to make their writing crisp, sharp and compelling. Emphasising characters, structure, dialogue and story, Writing Short Films dispels the 'magic formula' concept that screenplays can be constructed by anyone with a word processor and a script formatting programme.

  • Writing Short Films by Linda J. Cowgill ( 1997, Paperback)

    This book's author takes a professional approach about writing the screenplay for a Short Movie. She does not buy the "anything goes for Shorts" mentality, and she teaches strategies to keep the screenplay within the Three-Act structure, Character development, plots, and structure of scenes. Excellent book for the Film Studies student.

  • Useful book! Spent money go for your investment.

    Required reading for my UCLA short developing class. This book is like ABC for writers. Very good instructional material. Step by step you will learn the script key elements. A lot of example from short film as well as a feature films.

  • Bad Condition

    Book was written and highlighted all the way through. Also torn
